I am so glad i made it to this. I've been sore for the last 3 days since but I so don't care. I really enjoyed seeing you and getting a copy of the book, which I've been trying to find. My brother was suppose to come with me but he chickened out.

I e-mailed you the links to the cakes that I've made and i hope it got through to you.

aheh..."merman country"...heh! i actually chuckled out loud :) (COL??) anyway, i DESPERATELY wanted to come to this but i couldn't afford the gas to drive down and nobody i knew up here was going. SAD! i'm glad it went so well and that you had fun!! i really wanted to meet you! oh well. maybe next year...?

At first glance I thought the Bakeries from Beyond one was a Dalek, which had been exterminated. Love the dog with poo one. I've seen those dog ones in a shop here, but unfortunately(?) they looked really good, and not like poo at all. Curses! Now I know why you guys haven't come to Australia - all our decorators are way too competent. Plus I've never seen a CCC (patooie!) in real life, so I don't think they exist over here.

I'm so glad I made the two hour drive to be there, it was well worth the long line. Jen, you guys were great to meet and the cakes tasted wonderful. I loved all of the cakes for the competition because they were so creative. I hope you'll come back to Utah again.

I found the most wonderful steam punk jewelry at the rocks market (Australia) yesterday, but I'm going to raise the bar a bit. They had pretty pieces and functional pieces (i.e. turn the knob and various clockwork bits interact) but none that were both and I have a hankering for that combination.

Off topic for cake wrecks, but since you mentioned it... I also happen to be a steampunk jewelry junkie. You might want to check out Jewels by Nature (JewelsByNature.etsy.com) - she does fabulous steampunk pieces. I've bought 4 necklaces from her already, with plans for more. Really lovely, with a range from fancy to everyday wearable.

Awwww, man! I didn't know you were going to be in Salt Lake! To think I was only 20 minutes away. I absolutely love your site. My husband and I both think it wouldn't be nearly as funny without your witty comments!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
